A Legacy of Love: 40+ Years of Volunteer Service & Lasting Impact in Tampa Bay

Seniors in Service connects adults aged 55+ with meaningful volunteer service that improves lives and strengthens communities. For over four decades, we’ve proudly served the Tampa Bay region, helping people come together to support one another — across generations, backgrounds, and neighborhoods.

Our volunteers are Geared Up To Serve — ready to show up, share kindness, and make a lasting difference.

What We Do

Our volunteers step up where they’re needed most. Through our programs, they:

  • Visit and care for isolated older adults
  • Support tired and overwhelmed caregivers
  • Tutor and mentor young students
  • Assist fellow veterans with respect and compassion
  • Help neighbors facing hunger and hardship

Every hour of service makes a difference — lifting spirits, building relationships, and creating stronger, more connected communities.

Our Legacy of Impact

We’re proud of what we’ve accomplished — together:

  • 1,900+ volunteers serve each year
  • 8,000+ lives touched annually
  • 150+ community partners across Tampa Bay
  • 5 million+ hours of volunteer service valued at over $131 million

These numbers represent real people, real stories, and real impact.

Financial Integrity You Can Trust

We treat every donation with care, responsibility, and transparency:

  • 93¢ of every dollar directly supports our programs
  • We pass independent audits every year
  • Trusted by local, state, and federal agencies for over 40 years

You can feel confident knowing your support directly helps people and strengthens our community.
